She wanted me off the streets and to stop mobile vending in the area that I have been vending for 7 years. We went to court and after all the dirty allegations and under oath, to the Judge, she admitted I said nothing, she lost. Then approx. a year later she tried again ,the allegations got much meaner and stronger. Back to court and their 100 % huge lies just basically scared the judge. David didn't bring any of the evidence or witnesses he promised that would of proved that nothing happened, In court I tried to tell David what really happened on some of the allegations and he said " sit there and be quiet. I lost and I received a 3 year Restraining order. The judge told us that we could return in 6 months to review the case. David dropped me approx. 1 week after the trial. I contacted David around the 6 month date and requested that we return to court to straighten out the mess, he declined. This was purely a money, customer grab. I have never said anything to this lady, nor threaten her or her friends. No harassment, nothing. The huge problem with a restrainer order is that if someone is out to get you now they have the legal right on their side. Now it only takes a few more dirty lies to get you placed in Jail and criminal charges. This vendor continues to make false allegations. This is a conspiracy to destroy me and my business by the competing vendor, it's seems to be personal. I was warned about this lady before any of this started . Since the court date I have lost my business , my beautiful legal commissary kitchen , my three trucks, my income, my reputation, my health. I'm now 61 years old and will find it almost impossible to resume my business from scratch. I was a A + business, BBB. everything legal and above board. I have one year remaining on my TRO and I'm in hiding from the vendor, they are trying to put me in jail with their lies. I have surveillance tapes of the competing vendor and myself on it, nothing happened but they tried as hard as they could to have me arrested by the police, this has happened several times. I also contacted the Better Business Bureau and complained about David. He said that he couldn't discuss my case because of Attorney Client Privilege. I told BBB that they had my permission to discuss. He again stated that he couldn't discuss because of Attorney Client Privilege. I have asked several top attorneys , they said it's up to me not David, if I want my case discussed. This is my horrible experience with David and my allegations. Auntie Terri

The Good: *Doesn't need to be said, but I'll say it anyway: free! *Great 180° viewpoint with almost zero obstructions. *Views of Haleakalā, as well as the islands of Molokini, Kaho'olawe and Lana'i. *Evidently, this is the spot for whale watching. I can't confirm this as we arrived in April, which is towards the end of the whale spotting season (November-May w/ peak viewing being Jan-March). *Fantastic spot for sunsets *Paved parking lot w/ a left turn pocket for safe exit if you're traveling westbound. The Meh: * The parking lot is fit for maybe a dozen or so cars, and I've heard it can get full pretty quickly. The Ugly: *There's some trails to get you down closer to the water, but I'm not sure if they're official or just "social paths." Regardless, remember my dad's rule #1: I told you not to be stupid, you moron. TLDR: Fantastic views at my favorite price point.

It's an interesting recreation of one corner of the old fort that once stood on the property and a good example of cut coral building construction - something you see from the early days of Hawaii's settlement from the west. Divers would go out into the reefs and chisel out huge blocks that would be shaped into the building blocks - several historic buildings on Maui and Oahu use similar materials, like colonial churches. I'd say overall this location is of only modest interest, there isn't much innovation to be seen through the example. It is on a beautiful stretch of property however and perfect for a photo op. Plenty of free street parking nearby but really, just stay in Lahaina and walk to it - it's on the Historic Lahaina walking tour, which I also recommend.
